Chapter three hundred and thirty fourth disciples thorns

 In the past, the sordidness is not worthy of praise, but now the dissolute thoughts have no limit; the spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hoof is so fast that I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

When Zhu Pingan left the Hou Mansion, he saw Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen, who were as proud as described in the poem. They were already graceful, and now they are even more energetic. In this meeting, although they are not as good as Zhu Pingan

Ban Luo Li won Huiyuan, but he was also ranked in both high schools. Wang Shizhen ranked 82nd in high school, and Zhang Siwei was slightly behind, ranked 93rd in high school, both in the top 100.

"Zi Hou, you've finally come out." After Zhu Ping'an came out, the two of them walked forward with a smile.

"Brother Ziwei, Brother Wensheng has been waiting for a long time. I will be the host today, and I will take care of the food and wine." Zhu Ping'an apologized with a smile.

"We remember what you said. But we can't do it today, let's try another day." Zhang Siwei clapped his hands and smiled, then shook his head.

"Why? This is not your style. Last time you released the list, you acted as if you were possessed by gluttons and showed no mercy. Don't laugh at the farmers' wax wine, which is full of chickens and dolphins in good years. Today I have brought enough wine money.

"Zhu Ping'an smiled and threw the fat duck money bag in his hand.

"Zihou, are you really ignorant or are you pretending not to know?" Wang Shizhen asked, rolling her eyes.

"What?" Zhu Pingan looked confused.

"Zihou, I really don't know what to say about you. You have a quick mind and a sharp mind, but you don't understand the rules of officialdom." Wang Shi~↑长~↑风~↑文~zhen shook his head and said what he meant in the future.

He came out and said, "We will pass the examination and go to visit the master as usual. I didn't see you coming to see us a few days ago, so today we are here to see you and pay a visit to the master."

"There are students in the world who are near or hundreds of thousands of miles away or far away or thousands of miles away. They speak different languages. They have different names. Once they are admitted to the exam, there are so-called examiners who are called masters; there are so-called co-examiners who are called Fang.

Teacher; people who are on the same list are called the same year; sons of the same year are called nephews; Zuoshi, the son of Fangshi, are called brothers; Zuoshi, Fangshi are called us, they are called disciples; and the disciples are chosen by the students.

Those who are disciples are called disciples; disciples are called their teachers' teachers, and they are called Taishi." Zhang Siwei continued Wang Shizhen's words and explained to Zhu Pingan.

Oh, Disciple Thorn, it turns out that I was negligent.

After Zhu Ping'an heard this, he remembered the matter of disciple master, which is something that is well understood even in modern times.

The Ming Dynasty was at the heyday of the development of the imperial examination in ancient China. The candidates produced by the imperial examination had an unprecedentedly developed relationship with students. The competition in the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was unprecedentedly fierce. The number of candidates who met the admission standards in each examination was far greater than the number of admissions. Whether the candidates brought Chinese style or not

Under the background of great chance, the admitted candidate will inevitably be grateful to the examiner who admitted him. Therefore, it is very natural to respect him as the "master" and call himself "disciple". Under normal circumstances, candidates only respect the two.

The chief examiner and the co-examiner who directly admits him or her are called chairpersons. The title of the chief examiner and the co-examiner are also different. The chief examiner is called "seat teacher", while the co-examiner is called "room teacher".

After the results of the imperial examination are released, the first thing the disciples have to do is to throw a "disciple thorn" at the chairperson, and "visit" and "see" the chairperson to confirm the relationship between the chairperson and the disciple.

"Oh, thank you Brother Ziwei and Brother Wensheng for reminding me. Ping An almost missed something big." Zhu Ping'an looked like he suddenly realized something, and held up his hands to thank the two of them.

In fact, Zhu Ping'an still had some disapproval of the rules handed down from the Ming Dynasty to his disciples. The relationship between the master and his disciples was just due to an examination. One side was the examiner and the other was the examinee. The examiner was ordered by the emperor to follow the rules.

Today's saying is that they are arranged by the government; candidates follow the system and take the exam. If they pass the exam, it means that their level is reached. Although there are some other factors, being admitted in the exam is a right that you should enjoy. The two are business affairs and it does not matter.

Giving favors and receiving favors, but I don’t know who or when it started, but it actually formed such a strong sense of personal relationship: as long as you admit me, you will be my mentor; as long as I admit you, you will be my disciple. What should be done in the beginning is now.

If you pass the exam and get on the list, you have to be grateful.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the master and disciples maintained a normal relationship of "tied by righteousness", but later the number of masters and disciples of "tied by benefit" also increased, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, because the relationship between master and disciples had become a factor that contributed to the intensification of party strife.

and one of the important factors in political corruption.

Of course, Zhu Ping'an is not pedantic either. Although the tutor-disciple system has many disadvantages, there are also benefits to having a tutor. As the saying goes, if there are people in the court who are easy to do things, the tutor will also guide, promote and protect his disciples. Especially

The master who will test him and others this time is Xu Jie. Xu Jie is a fierce man who knocked Yan Song down. He has a big thigh, so why not hug him.

Therefore, Zhu Ping'an, Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen went to the homes of their masters Xu Jie and Yan Maoqing to throw "disciple assassins" and "visit" and "see" Xu Jie and Yan Maoqing to confirm the relationship between masters and disciples.

As for the examiners who are directly admitted to each other, they are all different, and we will wait until they "visit" and "meet" Xu Jie and Yan Maoqing together.

When paying homage to the master, one cannot go empty-handed. Zhang Siwei took Zhu Ping'an and Wang Shizhen to a high-end ink studio and selected fine ink as a gift to pay homage to the master.

Ink is an important material for writing. The quality of ink not only affects the artistic expression of calligraphy and painting, but good ink does not fade for a long time. It is a very popular collection because pen, ink, paper and inkstone are the four treasures of the study. Ink is used as a gift.

It is both high-end and elegant, and it is perfect as a gift to pay homage to the Master.

"The name of this ink is 'A Pond of Spring Green', which comes from the phrase 'A sudden wind rises, ruffling a pond of spring water' in "Visiting the Golden Gate" by Feng Yansi, a poet of the Southern Tang Dynasty. This ink is the best among micro inks. This ink

The graphic and text design is quite ingenious, the shape is exquisite, the font is smooth, free and powerful. The water lines are rippling, and a dragonfly swims among them, leisurely and contented, giving people a sense of being otherworldly. This is also the most popular ink today.

none of them."

Zhang Siwei has a lot of research on ink. After looking at the ink studio for a while, Zhang Siwei pointed to one of the inks and spoke to Zhu Pingan and Wang Shizhen.

Zhu Ping'an curiously took the pool of spring green ink pointed by Zhang Siwei in his hand. The piece of ink was round in shape, with convex edges on both sides, and the whole body was painted with gold. One side had the four characters "A Pool of Spring Green" written in Yang script in the center. The other side

It is a picture in Yangwen: a giant snake protrudes from the sea water, winding like a centipede. On one side of the ink is the four characters "Shuiyun Juzhi" in Yangwen regular script, and on the other side is the four character "Xiaohua Yishi".

The store clerk carefully took out a piece as big as a fingernail from the sample, put it into the inkstone to ink, and then took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and handed it to Zhu Ping'an and the others to test the ink.

The ink was as smooth as jade and had a pleasant fragrance. Seeing that the two of them had no intention of trying the pen, Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and took a step forward. He took the brush and dipped it in the ink, and wrote the word "ink" one by one. As expected, the writing was smooth and smooth.

Better than before.

"Zi Hou, good calligraphy!" Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen were full of praise for Zhu Pingan's calligraphy.

"I just like you to tell the truth." Zhu Pingan put down his brush and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen couldn't help but shook their heads and pointed at Zhu Pingan and laughed.

After laughing, the three of them each bought a few pieces of "A Pond of Spring Green" at Mo Zhai, and the store clerk wrapped them in gift boxes. After paying the money, they carried the gift boxes and headed towards Xu Jie's mansion. (To be continued...
